Binary Star - Slang Blade

"How you feel, what the hell is this shit,
reachin' for the cover, turnin' up your deck..."



"When you want it live you can't compromise or settle"



"Hhhaaaa..."

Classic.

End of the Year (Part 7)

Ahh, July...

There are some '08 songs in here because some are remixes and some i just found, ha. Peep:



Highlights:

- Crown City Rockers - Soul. Well, if you didn't have it, you wouldn't be here!

- Jake One - Glow feat. Elzhi & Royce Da 5'9''. This is '08 right here but g'DAMN this song is nuts. This is what i wake up to when my alarm is on. I glow without the show, chuch.

- J-Live - Super Good (Prod. by Domingo). J-Live is still ill as fuck. This song is too dope.

- Kool G Rap - NY Timez feat. Godfather Pt. 3. Hearing G Rap spit is usually a treat.

- Nicolay - Lose Your Way feat. Carlitta Durand. Nicolay is that dude. I think Foreign Exchange wins/won a Grammy. Carlitta should NOT be slept on! This songstress got it!

- Nino Bless - Boom Bap Shit feat. Skyzoo, Ras Kass, Rhymefest & Scram Jones (Prod. by Madlib). Man, the posse cuts were just coming out mid year! This is def one not to sleep on.

- Skyzoo - The Beautiful Decay (Prod. by 9th Wonder). THIS is the joint!!!!! "So beautiful... so gorgeous... but so opposite of all this". Sky & 9th team up for a sunny day ANTHEM:

End of the Year (Part 6)

Another split. Summer was def a heavy dl season.



Highlights:

- Balance - Can't Let Go feat. The Jacka, Big Rich & Jimmie Reign. On that smooth tip you can ride with your female with. Don't sleep on these Bay titans!

- Chace Infinite - Personal Religion (Prod. by DJ Khalil). Khalil is always on point and Chace always brings it. Self Scientific!

- Common - Gladiator (Remix) (Prod. by Cephas). One of my favorite Com tracks, this one's a good remix.

- DJ JS-1 - Ridiculous feat. O.C. & Pharoahe Monch. Probably my most played song on this up! Too damn hype! Plus O.C. the Phenomenon is on there with the Pharoahe!? Reminds me of Tek & Kweli's "This Means You" off "Train of Thought", considering they both use this sample:



- Drake - Think Good Thoughts feat. Phonte & Elzhi. Just recently started bangin' this track, (not taking anything away from 'te) mainly on the strength of Elzhi. "But y'all don't really know me like you think you know me"!

- Mos Def - Priority. I was tickled with the lil promo vid that was up on YouTube for a bit. "Style & stay radiate, love power slay the hate, priority". Most Definitely dope.

- Royce Da 5'9'' - Gun Harmonizing. Slaughterhouse! Nickel tears this shit up! Ill beat, dope lyrics, str8 Hip Hop! Dig the chorus of gun sounds!

- The Roots - I Wanna Be Where You Are feat. Erykah Badu & The Roots & Erykah Badu - Billie Jean. RIP MJ. Dope & original tributes. ?uest talking/singing/whatever is fucking too sick/funny at the same time.

End of the Year (Part 5)

Yee!



Highlights:

- DJ Kay Slay - Power Cipher feat. Sheek Louch, Papoose, Busta Rhymes, Young Chris & Raekwon. Look at that lineup. Okay, i only dig Sheek, Busta & Rae really, but the beat is bonkers and can u really be disappointed with some beastly MCs on it? Thought so.

- Finale - Heat (Prod. by J Dilla). I still sleep on Finale & only copped this cuz Dilla produced it but he comes with heat!

- Lady GaGa - Poker Face (Pete Rock Remix). LOL. I never heard of Lady GaGa til this song & i thought she was gonna be good... Anyway, Chocolate Boy Wonder makes this song nuts!

- Sheek Louch - We Like. DAMN! Silverback was bringing it earlier this year. Heard Sheek bust on this before Drake so i'm partial to this one. I still bump this shit!

- V-Stylez - Clash of the Titans feat. Royce Da 5'9'', Rapper Big Pooh, Elzhi & Phat Kat. Similar to Power Cipher. Look at that lineup. Detroit is a breeding ground for fiends! Respect!

End of the Year (Part 4)

Highlights:

- Elzhi - Deep (Prod. by Black Milk). Elzhi is a mic murderer. Can't wait for elMatic!

- Kurupt & Terrace Martin - You Know. Tha Kingpin's a beast, that's a given. I know a lot of people sleep on Terrace Martin tho. His production is on point, periAd.!

- M.O.P. - Blow The Horns feat. Busta Rhymes. This is something to mash out to. Hype!

Highlights:

- DJ Deckstream - Life Is Good feat. Mos Def. Wow. This is a banger for sure. Good for 'em sunny days when you're in a good mood.

- Havoc - Heart of the Grind. This shit is def a banger! Gives me that classic Mobb Deep feel but updated for the 2k's.

- Reks - Play My Music (Prod. by Statik Selektah). Damn, Statik is killing it right now. His production is consistent & on point. Reks smashes the beat.
